great review of frederic malle's 'french lover', have gotten my hands on a sample today and i have to say, i love it! not a big fan of pink pepper or peppery notes in my cologne but this combined with vetiver it's just dreamy. i thought i only liked vetiver extraordinaire from malle's line but this one is as close to it in terms of perfection as you can get, well, on my skin anyway and from my point of view.

Hello Oh. Your eulogy of / paean to Vanilia almost brought a tear to my eye. So wonderful a scent so depressingly discontinued. Anyway, just thought I'd drop by to say how much I enjoy your informative and expressive reviews.

I was reading reviews of Cuir de Lancome, and having not smelled the stuff, your review seemed one of the best and most descriptive. Then I went on to read your reviews of Osmanthus and En Passant, which I have smelled. I really enjoyed your articulation of the notes in Osmanthus. It was an excellent review. Thanks for sharing.
